TI - On the shear influence on the free vibration behavior of magneto-electro-elastic beam T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2009 VL - 11 IS - 2 SN - 1933-2815 AB - A magneto-electro-elastic Timoshenko beam model is presented and employed to study the effect of the shear strain on the free vibration behavior of the beam. Once the differential governing equation for Timoshenko magneto-electro-elastic beam is derived, the Euler-Bernoulli model is obtained by letting be zero some of the governing equation coefficients. Results for the Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli beam are presented in comparison with two-dimensional finite element computation. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2009.011.055
